How BantabaMarkets works

BantabaMarkets is a community prediction-pool platform, not a casino, not a continuous trading exchange. Stakes are locked until the event resolves, and settlement is transparent.

  1. 1

    Gather around a question

    Every market starts as a real-world question: will a team qualify, will inflation fall, will an election go a certain way. Resolution criteria and the official source are shown upfront.

  2. 2

    Stake your insight

    Choose an outcome and put an amount behind it. Your stake moves from your available balance into a locked balance, and it cannot be withdrawn or cashed out early.

  3. 3

    The pool grows together

    Everyone staking the same outcome shares one pool. The price you see (e.g. YES 64¢) reflects how the community has staked so far, not a live trading price.

  4. 4

    Settle when the outcome is known

    An admin resolves the market against the published source. A small commission (5–10%) is taken from the total pool, and the rest is shared among winners in proportion to their stake.

A worked example

YES pool: 10,000 GMD · NO pool: 5,000 GMD · Total: 15,000 GMD · Commission 10% (1,500 GMD)

If YES wins, each YES staker receives 1.35× their stake. If NO wins, each NO staker receives 2.70× their stake.
